EP9302 MAX197

The TS-7200 supports an optional eight-channel, 12-bit A/D converter (ADC) with a conversion time of 12 uS. This will allow up to 60,000 samples per second. Each channel is independently software programmable for a variety of analog input ranges: -10V to +10V, -5V to +5V, 0V to +10V, or 0V to +5V. This allows an effective dynamic range of 14 bits.

The datasheet for the MAX197 is available here.

I/O Address	Access	Description
0x10F0_0000	Write Only	Initiate A/D Conversion
0x10F0_0000	Read Only	LSB of Conversion
0x10F0_0001	Read Only	MSB of Conversion
0x2240_0000	Read Only	Bit 0 = 1 if OP-ADC is installed
0x1080_0000	Read Only	Bit 7 = 0 when conversion completed.

Each channel is overvoltage tolerant from -16V to + 16V, and a fault condition on any channel will not affect the conversion result of the selected channel. This is all accomplished with a 5V only power supply; no negative supply voltage is required. The Maxim MAX197 chip can be replaced with a MAX199 chip if a lower range of analog input levels is required (-4V to +4V, -2V to +2V, 0V to 4V, and 0V to 2V).

A/D Convrol Register 0x10f0_0000 (Write Only)

Bit	Description	Details
0-2	Analog Channel Select	Channels 0-7
3	Unipolar / Bipolar	0 = Unipolar (0-5V) 1 = Bipolar (-5v to +5v)
4	Range Select	0 = 5V range 1 = 10V range
5-7	Mode Bits	0, 1, 0

This example program assumes a test fixture is attached to the A/D header with 2.35 VDC on all even channels and 1.18 VDC on all odd channels. This test uses a 0-10V unipolar. Therefore even channels are nominally 22% (21.5-22.5 => good) and odd channels are nominally 11% (10.5-11.5 => good).
